We are excited to announce the 8th Annual Baxter Kenworthy Charitable Volleyball Tournament will be held on Saturday, August 10th, 2019 at Spikers Sports and Spirits. 100% of the proceeds from the tournament will be donated to the Suburban Rotary Club's Charitable Foundation to provide post graduate scholarships for high school seniors with special needs. We started 8 years ago with just 10 teams and we are now up to an average of 26 teams. We have raised almost $60,000 for this amazing charity. We can't be more excited to be able to offer these individuals a chance to live a full, productive life doing what they are passionate about. Please CLICK HERE to see the flyer/registration form. We look forward to another year of fun in the sun, but most of all the opportunity to surpass our donations from last year!
